EX is, well, an ex-boyfriend who I dumped because he was just too melodramatic. Below are a snippets from our chance encounter via YM. (Note: I edited parts because I hate it when people spel wUrdz lyk dis.)
EX: Do you still remember me?
Reign: No.
EX: Ok.
Reign: I’m kidding. Of course I remember you.
EX: Kumusta na?
Reign: Cut to the chase. What do you need?
EX: Wala lang. I miss you.
Reign: Damn it.
Hmmm. What to say to someone who says they miss you when you don’t miss them back?

EX: May BF ka now?
Reign: No.
EX: Ako I’m dating someone.
Reign: Did I ask?
EX: Nasabi ko lang. Kasi he reminds me of you.
Reign: Wow. I’m very very flattered.
EX: :)
Reign: FYI, that was sarcasm.
EX: :(
Why do exes have the need to know about your current romantic situations? And why to they feel the need to one-up you? Is this some kind of a contest?

EX: Pwede ba tayo magkita ulit?
Reign: What for?
EX: Sobrang na-miss talaga kita.
Reign: Oh?
EX: Oo. Let’s go out. Date tayo.
Reign: ‘Di ba nga you are dating someone?
EX: Oo, pero I think mas masaya ako pag ikaw ulit kasama ko.
Reign: ‘Di ako clown. Hahahaha.
EX: Ewan. I just want to be with you again.
The last line made me stop typing. I thought about it. It was so random. So unexpected. A part of me wants to say “yes” because I am so bored and I sorta kinda want to see him too – no, I don’t miss him, that’s different. But I know being with him again is a disaster in the making. So for a couple of moments, which felt like an eternity, I thought about how to reply and I came up with this…
Reign: Sure. Let’s have dinner.
Whatever. I am a sucker for disasters anyway.

I just found out that yet another ex-boyfriend of mine is going to be a father. That’s it. I am very very convinced that I am an avatar of a Hindu fertility god. Barren? Touch Reign Loleng and be a parent in an instant!

There are now 344 reported cases of Influenza A(H1N1) in the Philippines. It’s only inevitable that I will get it soon. There – I just made a case for going to Hong Kong despite the pandemic. See you in 5 days.
